And yes, the IAM do not really teach how to ride fast .
No, because, as you agree, that's what the track is for!

What they always say is "You are responsible for your own riding decisions".
The IAM won't tell you to exceed the limit, because that's illegal and they can't advocate people breaking the law. But if you want to "use the power of ur machine", far better to do it knowing about good positioning and road discipline rather than just getting out there and chucking it down the road when it all goes pear-shaped.
